GO TRACINGS OF ICELAND AND THE FAROE ISLANDS. o’clock to the field which contains these wonderful springs. It was still clear daylight. The ground seemed like a place where some work is going on that calls for extensive boilings of caldrons. Were 5000 washerwomen to work in the open air together, the general effect at a little distance might be some- what similar. Turning the corner of a turf-enclosure, I beheld a rill of hot water passing along a white crusted channel. Presently, I observed beside this stream a little hole among the stones, with hot water plop-plopping in it, exactly as in a kettle. My beast did not like it, and for some time refused to proceed. Going on, I found more holes of the same kind; then larger apertures, from which only steam was coming. Then joining my companions, now dismounted, I found myself in the midst of the Geysers. A strange scene it was—the multitude of horses, men, and baggage, in the midst of a multitude of earth- fast boiling kettles. There is the tent pitching on the green— there is the Great Geyser, perched on its mount of incrustations ! A large flock of sheep is passing by, attended by shepherds, who do not bestow a passing glance on the Geysers, familiarity having had its usual effect with them in creating indifference. I sat on tire beast, and gazed around with wonder, the mind being active, while the body was actually torpid with suffering. It was necessary to call the help of a guide ere I could dismount; and when I did reach the ground, my limbs yielded under me. What were the sensations of the pony which had borne me forty miles that day, I cannot pretend to guess; but it struck me that a handsome apology was due to him from his rider.
